If you've been looking for an iPhone controller app that enables you to utilise your device's 3D Touch functionality, your search might have come to an end with the release of Kevin Nelson's Aftertouch. This was inspired by Roger Linn's LinnStrument and Madrona Labs' Soundplane.

This is designed to turn your device into a velocity- and pressure-sensitive MIDI controller. It can work with other apps and external hardware via a Camera Connection Kit or Bluetooth MIDI. It's based on a grid-style layout, and there's also a built-in synth.

Check out the video above for a demo, and there are specs below. Aftertouch is available now on the Apple App Store priced at £2.29/$2.99
